Less than a week to go for the PGL Mayor 2022 in Antwerp. Getting really hyped about the nice CSGO matches coming up in the next weeks. There will be a lot of betting opportunities to make some profit. Also need to buy the viewer pass to get all the souvenir packages.  Already on Monday there quite a few good games happening. Some low risk bets are probably Astralis vs IHC, should be an easy win for Astralis; Vitality vs Complexitiy, should be a good win for Astralis; and ENCE vs 9z seems also very one sided for ENCE. Payouts are not so big for these games because the top teams are facing the underdogs. The best match on the first day will be Liquid vs G2, both are pretty strong team and the match could go either way. I will likely put some money down for G2 though, they played very good against Liquid in the IEM Katowice 2022.

Unfortunate loss from the Rejects they should've had that in the bag if it weren't for that unusual draft in game 3. They tried to copy Team Liquid's draft and went for that tanky sustain lineup but it didn't work as they're lacking some reliable disables.

They feel like they can copy the success of that draft from Liquid but they don't know the ins and outs of such a very risky, low-damage draft. Props to them for being adventurous with the draft and pushing through with it albeit being against a very disciplined and capable draft of Navi. They risked qualifying the major just to try out that concept they got from Liquid, and that IMO is somehow respectable.

Also, there are some IEM Dallas Qualifiers scheduled later today and for now i'm leaning on the over 2.5 between MOUZ and BIG. The odds on BIG seems nice but it feels like a trap.

But it seems that there's no word from Valve as Team Spirit and Navi will proceed instead of Outsiders and Team Spirit first.
Those tweets won't do much for his team since Valve rarely changes their decision. VP just has to deal with the disqualification and prepare for the next DPC tournament.
Yeah.

He's just trying out because of the frustration of what Pure has made with their team. Actually, they're good and they can likely be qualified but because of it, there's no longer the opportunity that's being set for them.

Well, even if they appeal or kick and remove Pure from their roster and terminate their contract, still, what's done is done and it won't change.

I wouldnt throw it on csgo normally as well but this free bets is limited to be used only on csgo so here it is

btw, what's the name of that bookie in your pic? i have a weak spot for bookies that use dark themes,, the one in your pic kinda looks like Luckbox 🧐

Too bad wasnt it, oh well it was a free bets anyway and I totally have no clue what to place it on. The site is Rollbit, they recently launched their sportsbook and yes they have dark themes on their site  Grin

i doubt Rejects or NaVi would have any issues against MG

CIS Rejects probably wouldnt have any issue with MG but the odds totally sucks. Yesterday I was about to bet on Team Spirits -1.5 against MG but it was 1.35 odds and currently CIS Rejects have 1.45 odds for -1.5 against MG. Risky and at the same time I dont think any handicap bet that has below 1.7 odds is worth it to bet

parlay is off to a good start thanks to the +1.5 handicap from CIS rejects and their tremendous stomp in game 2 vs NaVi. If it follows the script from their last series in quarter-finals, NaVi will game 3  Grin anyone watching this game? or are you waiting for the Final? i doubt Rejects or NaVi would have any issues against MG

I just realized that Mind Games literally have 3 chances to win the game to take the Major spot because of Outsiders being disqualified. Total of 5 teams,
Yup and they're one series away from losing all three chances since I think whoever wins the first series between Navi and Rejects will definitely take down Mind Games.

But it seems that there's no word from Valve as Team Spirit and Navi will proceed instead of Outsiders and Team Spirit first.

watching TS v NaVi, game 1 was awesome! No chance for Mind Games to beat Navi or TS later today, they got lucky with the Outsider situation, but then losing to Betboom was a reality check for them no doubt. Well at least MG will have the third slot decider final

I bet Astralis over ENCE tomorrow but I havent watched them enough recently to be sure but right now I think Astralis has been able to recover even if they stumble which is an important attribute as some teams are all go and then when setup back by round losses they stall.
i'm gonna be very, very surprised if this doesn't go to the decider. Over 2.5 is my pick

Just another update about the disqualification case of Team Outsiders = Virtus.Pro. DM has made an statement that he's appealing for his team to be reconsidered and appeal to be able to still compete on DPC EEU.

Here are his tweets:

We got Team Spirit vs NAVI later for the lower bracket semis the winner will be facing Mind Games for the second major spot and the loser will have another chance as they'll be placed at another elimination playoff bracket and the winner of that bracket takes the third major spot.

I just realized that Mind Games literally have 3 chances to win the game to take the Major spot because of Outsiders being disqualified. Total of 5 teams,

As for my pick i'll go with NAVI +1.5 @1.90 so far these guys have won all the first maps and I think they'll at least get one against Team Spirit since I don't buy Team Spirit's 2-0 win against HR

Taking Team Spirits -1.5 on this game, I personally think that Team Spirits. Kinda biased on this because I personally think that they are still atleast top 2 teams in EEU region so they might sweep 2 games against Navi. The winner of this game will be playing against Mind Games after that so I guess whoever win the 1st game is probably going to go hard on the 2nd one as well to save up some stamina rather than going through all 3 games

ALGS finals on APEX LEGENDS in Stocholm. We might not have lots of Apex fans or players here but let me tell that this is the best battle royal game out there. Also all the big teams are there with TSM , NRG , Element 6 , Liquid etc.

For me , it would be nice to see this game making into esports to people could bet on it as the last circle of this game is simply insane and you can win by gifted mechanics , insane aim and a little bit of luck. For me , this are the main ingredients that an esports game needs to make it into betting system.

I didn't expect that disqualification coming from Outsiders and Mind Games got lucky they'll be having at least three chances to qualify at this point.

Quick search on twitter leads to post 1 of Outsiders 'Pure' drew a Z line on the minimap few times while playing

Letter Z is a symbol for of war for Russia therefore he was suspected of literally supporting the war as it is constantly used by pro-war Russians. One silly act from a team member and the whole team has to be disqualified, this is also the 2nd time VP is disqualified from a tournament ( the first one was Gamers Galaxy, they refused to not wear their VP jersey which is tied to Russian organization )
That's not an accident.

It was a paused game and then Pure did just draw that on a mini map. Well, he has made it out of boredom and he shows support for the invasion.

His career now is ruined and I don't think that he's going to like further results of the decision of Valve. There's a likely that he might get banned from all Valve sponsor events.

The csgo major will be the best time to bet, obviously the biggest prizes and all the preparation and strats they do.    A good strategy can make or break a team besides the whole god like aim they might require even the best teams can fall apart if not organized so the major tends to be the time its best to take bets in csgo.

Seem Mibr will take Pain but strange on Vertigo Pain takes it to OT but also not long prior only got 2 rounds on that map.   So they are inconsistent not a good bet to win seems like.   + Sprout to win just now.

Edit : if any of you guys are reading this, I need a great tips for CSGO to use my free bets on
i wouldn't throw a free bet on events i'm not familiar with, but if you really want a csgo game in your bet today, Mibr to win vs. paiN

I wouldnt throw it on csgo normally as well but this free bets is limited to be used only on csgo so here it is



Seems to be a pretty low odds there but I'll take it as a sure win bets I guess. Hoping for the best on this



This BB team just wrecked the EEU DPC playoff. Starting out on 2nd division to the 1st division then taking the top spot as well as will be competing in the major.



Alright two more spots for the Major left on EEU region

I dont like this Complexity team half as much as the one that had blameF in it but vs mibr its a close game.  Im trying to arrive mid game and still bet, its 2nd map and mibr nearly trashed col outright.    A late underdog bet for 2nd map turnaround, its col pick but just small one as this seems quite near death for them sadly, briefly the odds to win overall and the 2nd map was about the same
brazilian teams are bullying the americans lol EG, Liquid, COL, they literally can't compete, brazilians are tier 1 in the region, the rest are playing catch up

talking about BR scene, today, FURIA v GODSENT, a banger 🔥 but first, Astralis v NIP, another banger 🔥🔥 this a coinflip, but i'm liking what i'm seeing from farlig and k0nfig lately so i'll go with the danes here

Though CN teams will not be traveling to Sweden, you can still catch them battling it out in an elimination bracket next month in all the usual places.

While the other teams are playing against all top teams from different region, PSG.LGD will be racking those DPC points from all those teams that they have beaten in DPC Tour  Roll Eyes. Kinda feels weird but oh well guess its due to their country being on lockdown again huh

[/quote]

Majors is not complete without CN team since they are top tier teams that can rival EU and CIS power house teams. It will be a massacre again for the SEA and NA/SA teams that will gonna contend on this Majors. CN team especially PSG.LGD already master the current meta and its a waste for them to not join on this upcoming majors and show us a very good matches. I'm teams like GG and TS will dominate this Major tournament but I still have faith to my favorite Boom SEA team. Forget about T1 and Fnatic.  Cheesy

Then in the lower bracket, PuckChamp and HR got eliminated from the tournament just like that, these two used to be in the top 2-4 in the previous tournament and now they're relegated. The current format seems punishing for losing teams but hopefully, they'd be given another chance or option to defend their spot.

Also, Perfect World announced that the qualified CN teams wouldn't be able to participate in the Major and they'll just go with another Regional Finals as an alternative.

I don't want to exaggerate but i think Betboom are gonna win the major 😂 🤣 in all seriousness, beating Team spirit and NaVi is no small feat, BB are legit, i genuinely think they can beat Outsiders tomorrow... you guys reckon this is gonna be a close series (over 2.5) ?  

Ikr, BB played well and if they win against Outsiders tomorrow then they are going to qualify for the Major. Pretty sure that there are far better teams compared to BB in the Major but I think they are good enough to qualify.



Anyway I hedge my bets yesterday and I took BB to win the 3rd game. Turned out to be  good decision lol
